How to use this template
- 1
Define the gap
Start from the performance or knowledge gap the training must close — not the topic you want to teach.
- 2
Write measurable objectives
Turn the gap into learning objectives that state what learners will be able to do afterwards.
- 3
Schedule and resource it
Plan sessions, formats, and facilitators, and confirm budget, tools, and materials.
- 4
Build in evaluation
Decide how you'll measure reaction, learning, behaviour, and results before you launch.
Frequently asked questions
How detailed should a training plan be?
Detailed enough that someone else could run it. Always nail the objectives, audience, schedule, and evaluation; the depth of facilitator notes can scale with how often the programme repeats.
What's the difference between a training plan and an agenda?
An agenda is the run-of-show for a single session. A training plan is the whole programme — objectives, audiences, modules, resources, and how you'll measure impact across weeks.
How do I measure if training worked?
Use Kirkpatrick's four levels: reaction, learning, behaviour, and results. Reaction surveys are easy but weak; behaviour change at 30 days and business results at 90 days are what prove value.
